Alex Prager

Alex Prager is one of the truly original image makers of our time. She creates delicately staged compositions that are familiar yet strange, utterly compelling, and unerringly memorable. Silver Lake Drive showcases Prager's boldest creations to date: from the early Polyester series, through her film collaborations with actor Bryce Dallas Howard, to the tour-de-force Face in the Crowd—shot on a Hollywood sound stage with more than 150 performers—and her 2016 commission for the Paris Opera, La Grande Sortie. In a deluxe hardcover package with a textured two-piece case and foil stamping, Silver Lake Drive is an essential collectible for Prager's fans and an illuminating introduction to her work for new audiences.

Nathalie Herschdorfer is the director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Le Locle, in Switzerland, and the curator at the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography.

Alex Prager is an Emmy Award–winning, Los Angeles–based photographer and filmmaker whose work hangs in major museums all over the world.

Michael Govan has been the director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art since 2006.
